Playstation 3 has been released in North America on November, 17th 2006. Even though the hardware inside never changed, the new PlayStation 3′s have a sleek and slim design. Also the newer PlayStation 3 models have a larger hard drive of either 120GB or 250 GB. If you want the full specs you should visit Cnet. Unlike the older Xbox 360′s the PS3 is wifi enabled and you can play online for free. Also PS3 can play blue-ray DVD and has an HDMI port. If you have a Sony Bravia you can use the remote to control your PS3 because the TV and PS3 will sync if connected through an HDMI cable.

Now that you have decided you want to buy a PlayStation 3, you are stuck on deciding to buy the older fat version or the newer slimmer versions. The real difference between these two are obviously the size. The slim also can be synced with Sony Bravia, while the older versions cant. Many people prefer the older (fatter) model because you don’t need a stand to make it stand up vertical and also you can download another OS such as linux. Also the older version had a glossy black finish. If you want to save money on your electric bill, I would go with the slim because it uses a lot less power to run. If you want to go to a friends house and hook it up to his new 72 inch TV, you definitely want the smaller one because of easier portability. For those of you tech savvy people PS3 Slim streams Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Some of the older versions can play old ps2 games, but come on if you have a PS3 you should be playing PS3 games. For those who look into details, the newer slim don’t have the touch button to turn on, now you actually have to press the button.

The PS3 is now a retail value of  $299.99 for the 120 GB system and $349.99 for the 250 GB system. The 120GB is enough for games and movies and also you can add your own extended hard drive, so you don’t have to worry about space, so there is no need to spend an extra 50 bucks when you can use that money to buy another game. I hope this little blog about the PS3 will help you on your next purchase of a PS3.
